                                     ITEM 2

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Company
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results
of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 1999

Revenues. Total revenues increased $33,482 to $118,968 in the three months ended
September 30, 2000, from $85,486 in the three months ended September 30,1999.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in Service revenue due
to an increase in the Synapse based product sales.

Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues increased $144,770 to $249,799 in the
three months ended September 30, 2000, from $105,029 in the three months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase was attributable to increases in direct labor
costs due to an approximate 50% increase in the number of employees in the
development, design, production and project management areas.

The cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 210% and 123% in the
three months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Accordingly, the
gross margin was (110%) and (23%) in the three months ended September 30, 2000,
and 1999, respectively.

Research and Development. Research and development costs decreased $188,338 to
$60,569 in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $248,907 in the three
months ended September 30, 1999. The Company released Version 2.0 of the Synapse
Manufacturing System for general product availability at the end of the first
quarter of 1999; therefore, additional development costs were expensed rather
than capitalized. Research and development costs represented approximately 51%
and 291% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000, and
1999, respectively.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses, including
interest expense, increased $634,905 to $928,390 in the three months ended
September 30, 2000, from $293,485 in the three months ended September 30, 1999.
General and administrative expenses increased due to the addition of a Vice
President of Sales, a Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, a Systems
Engineer and three clerical employees, general salary increases, related benefit
costs, employment recruitment and placement costs, as well as increases in
internet expense, governance fees, professional and consultant fees,
depreciation expense, interest expense and an increase in rent expense due to
the increased office space leased in Columbia and for the lease of office space
in Detroit, Michigan. General and administrative expenses, including interest
expense, represented approximately 780% and 343% of total revenues in the three
months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $372,150 to $463,819
in the three months ended September 30, 2000, from $91,669 in the three months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase was attributable to increases in
marketing salaries due to the addition of three sales representatives, a sales
support engineer and a business development specialist as well as increases in
brochures and collateral material, dues and subscriptions, public relations,
investor public relations awareness expenses, telephone, travel and
entertainment expenses and a reclassification of prepaid commissions. Sales and
marketing expenses represented approximately 390% and 107% of total revenues in
the three months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

Corporate and Other Related Non-Operating Items. Interest income increased
$48,504 in the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as a result of cash management
on cash balances of the Company. The average interest rate earned by the Company
was approximately 6.00%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1999

Revenues. Total revenues increased $237,731 to $829,765 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, from $592,034 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in License revenue due
to an increase in the Synapse based product sales which was partially offset by
a continued decrease in the sales of services, data collection equipment and
maintenance due to the increased emphasis on the completion and sales of the
Company's new core products, Synapse Manufacturing, Synapse EAI+, and Synapse
B2B. The Company's strategy during 1998 and 1999 was to focus substantially all
of the Company's efforts on completing and marketing it's core Synapse based
products while recognizing that the strategy would result in a substantial
reduction in the Company's service revenue during these periods. In addition to
the reduction of service based business, as the first install of Synapse
Manufacturing to a manufacturer of women's knitted hosiery neared completion,
revenue from this customer substantially decreased.

Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues increased $191,182 to $578,384 in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $387,202 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase was attributable to an increase in direct
labor costs due to an approximate 50% increase in the number of employees in the
development, design, production and project management areas as well as an
increase in the amortization of software costs due to the completion of Synapse
Manufacturing 2.0 at the end of the first quarter of 1999.

The cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues was 70% and 65% in the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Accordingly, the
gross margin was 30% and 35% in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, and
1999, respectively.

Research and Development. Research and development costs decreased $127,742 to
$187,299 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $315,041 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The Company released Version 2.0 of the Synapse
Manufacturing System for general product availability at the end of the first
quarter of 1999; therefore, additional development costs were expensed rather
than capitalized. Research and development costs represented approximately 23%
and 53% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, and
1999, respectively.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses, including
interest expense, increased $1,485,347 to $2,367,523 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, from $882,176 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
General and administrative expenses increased due to the addition of a Vice
President of Sales, a Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, a Systems
Engineer and three clerical employees, general salary increases, related benefit
costs, employment recruitment and placement costs, as well as increases in
internet expense, governance fees including Nasdaq application fees,
professional and consultant fees, depreciation expense, interest expense and an
increase in rent expense due to the increased office space leased in Columbia
and for the lease of office space in Detroit, Michigan. General and
administrative expenses, including interest expense, represented approximately
285% and 149% of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2000,
and 1999, respectively.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $809,174 to
$1,010,109 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $200,935 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase was attributable to
increases in marketing salaries due to the addition of three sales
representatives, a sales support engineer and a business development specialist
as well as increases in brochures and collateral material, dues and
subscriptions, public relations, investor public relations awareness expenses,
telephone, travel and entertainment expenses and a reclassification of prepaid
commissions. Sales and marketing expenses represented approximately 122% and 34%
of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2000, and 1999,
respectively.

Corporate and Other Related Non-Operating Items. Interest expense increased
$20,808 to $85,317 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $64,509 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase was due to the net
effect of the $1,250,000 convertible debenture in the third quarter of 1999, and
the repayments of various other notes in 1999. Interest income increased
$136,030 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, as a result of cash
management on cash balances of the Company. The average interest rate earned by
the Company was approximately 5.85%. Other income of $90,485 in the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, was primarily the result of a gain related to the
write-off of payable balances to vendors included in accounts payable.
Management determined that accounts payable balances totaling $90,265 were no
longer valid claims against the Company, and accordingly, reduced the payables
balance.

Financial Condition at September 30, 2000

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,534,158 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000.

Accounts receivable customers increased by $542,406 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, primarily reflecting an increase in Synapse based product
license sales.

The $450,335 decrease in current liabilities during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, is due to the partial use of funds from private placements
on February 15, 2000, and March 8, 2000, and due to the write off of certain
accounts payables.

The Company's current assets exceeded its current liabilities at September 30,
2000, by $2,207,863.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to 1997, the Company primarily financed its operations through revenues
from operations, including funded research and development revenues, and
occasional short term loans from the Company's principals or their
acquaintances. Since the middle of 1997, the Company has financed its operations
primarily through private and public offerings of Common Stock and convertible
debt, and to a lesser extent through borrowings from third-party lenders and
from revenues from operations.

During 1997, the Company received approximately $1,540,000 in net proceeds
(after deduction of commissions and offering costs) from the sale of 3,800,000
shares of its Common Stock, of which approximately $1,220,000 was received
through the Company's initial public offering in November, 1997, and
approximately $320,000 was received from a private offering in June of 1997. The
Company used a portion of these proceeds to repay debt of approximately
$320,000. In addition, in November, 1997, convertible debt issued by the Company
in March, 1997 in the principal amount of $116,700 was converted into shares of
Common Stock.

During 1998 and 1999, the Company received approximately $288,400 and $43,500,
respectively, in gross proceeds from the exercise of warrants for the purchase
of 430,000 and 56,000 shares, respectively, of the Company's Common Stock.

In June 1998, the Company completed a private placement of five-year convertible
notes in the amount of $500,000 and non-transferable warrants entitling the
holders to purchase an aggregate of 541,000 shares of common stock of the
Company. The notes, which bore interest at 12% per year, were converted in 1999
and 2000 into 346,692 and 163,934 shares, respectively, of common stock of the
Company. In November and December, 1999, 259,680 shares were issued upon the
partial exercise of the warrants and additional warrants were issued entitling
the holders to purchase an aggregate of 259,680 shares of the Company. In
February, 2000, 259,680 shares were issued upon the exercise of these warrants
and additional warrants were issued entitling the holders to purchase an
aggregate of 259,680 shares of the Company at $5.94 per share during the first
